Last year’s #bigsoilcommunity was a great success! Now we’re back & we’re digging deeper into the complex world of #soil #biology. Join The Big Soil Community for round two & learn about the rich biological diversity in your soil. bit.ly/2yIkqpb

Year two of The #BigSoilCommunity will include screening for #nematodes. These represent a key group of microorganisms in #soil & are responsible for a well-documented range of beneficial & detrimental soil functions. Learn more: bit.ly/2yX0FdH

Interested in learning more about The #BigSoilCommunity? Want to learn more about the complex communities of bacteria, fungi & nematodes in your soil? We have example reports, introductory videos, & FAQ’s available here: bit.ly/2OMxTad

The first year of #BigSoilCommunity was a great success, identifying a wide range of soil #microorganisms in our participants’ samples. Now we’re back, and we want you to join our collaborative effort to understand #soil health: bit.ly/2OLID8Y
